1、赛龙舟英语演讲稿 关于端午传统节目赛龙舟的英语怎么说呢?下面是的赛龙舟，欢迎阅读，希望对你有所帮助。 Dragon-boat, as the term suggests, is a boat carved like a dragon. Dragon-boat ra _ has a long history, and it is held annually on the Dragon-boat Festival, namely the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. 龙舟, 顾名思义, 是雕刻成龙型的船只。赛龙舟在中国有着悠久的历史, 在每年的端午节农历五

2、月初五进行。 Different sayings about the origin of the Dragon-boat Ra _ 赛龙舟起源众说纷纭 There have been different sayings about the origin of the Dragon-boat Ra _ in Chinese history. Someone holds that the ra _ is to memorize Qu Yuan, a famous writer, a _n of Chu in the period of the Warring States. He had been

3、 a senior official, but hated the crafty sycophants who were in the important positions, so he was squeezed out by them and exiled. He plunged into the River of Miluo and was drowned on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 278BC. It is said that the local people organized spontaneously to rescu

4、e him by rowing boats. This action has bee a mon practi _ and developed into the Dragon-boat sports. 有关赛龙舟 _的说法一直是众说不一。有人认为龙舟竞渡是为了纪念中国历上的屈原。屈原是战国时期楚国人, 中国历史上著名的文学家。曾位居 _, 但因痛恨奸佞小人当道, 受奸臣排挤而遭流放。于公元前278年五月初五投汨罗江而死。据说, 当屈原死后, 当地民众自发 _起来, 竞相划船营救。此举相沿成习发展成了龙舟竞渡活动。 Another version is related to Wu Zixu in

5、 Chinese history. Wu Zixu was a minister of Wu state during the Spring and Autumn Period. He was killed by the crafty sycophants because of his loyalty to the country and the king. His body was packed up and thrown into the river. In memory of Wu Zixu, the _ss in Wu state respected him as the Wave G

6、od and weled the ing of him on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month annually. However, people have the general agreement about the saying of Qu Yuan because he had greater influen _ in Chinese history. 另一种说法是有关中国历史上的伍子胥。伍子胥是中国春秋时期吴国大臣, 因为忠于国家、忠于皇帝而遭奸佞之臣陷害而被杀害。尸体被裹起来投人江中。吴国百姓为了纪念伍子胥, 奉他为波神, 并于每年的农历

7、五月初五 _龙舟竞赛来迎接波神。如此说法不一而足。但是, 对于纪念屈原的说法有较大的认同度, 因为屈原在中国的历史上有巨大的影响力。 However, the puzzle is why different sayings about the origin of the Dragon-boat Ra _ have the same day as the moment to hold the Dragon-boat Ra _? The answer is _rtain: to memorize Qu Yuan or Wu Zixu. Yet, we should pay attention to

8、 the fact : in China, the day, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is always regarded as an unlucky day, which is called the evil day of the evil month. There is a version in Chinese ancient books: the boy who was born on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month will kill his father, and the girl h

9、er mother, so people try their best to avoid the possible misfortunes when it es to the day every year. 令人困惑的是, _有关赛龙舟起源的说法都是在农历五月初五这一天 _龙舟赛呢?人们注意到, 在中国, 农历五月初五一直被认为是不祥的日子, 被称之为恶月恶日。中国古书上就有这样的说法:在农历五月初五这一天所生的孩子, 是男孩儿则杀父, 是女孩儿则害母。因此, 一到每年的农历五月初五, 人们便想尽一切办法避免可能不祥之事的发生。 Dragon-boat Ra _ in the Tang Dyn

10、asty has been held continously. 龙舟竞赛在唐代已成风俗 It is recorded that Dragon-boat Ra _ had bee a custom in the Tang dynasty. The two emperors, Tang Xuanzong and Tang Jingzong loved watching it. Still Tang Jingzong ordered to build 20 immense dragon boats, so that he could enjoy the dragon boat ra _ on the

11、 Dragon-boat Festival. The scale of the dragon-boat ra _s in the Tang dynasty was great. Usually more than ten boats would participate, and then hundreds and thousands of au _n _ would e and cheer. 根据历史资料记载, 到了唐代时期龙舟竞赛活动就已经成为一种风俗。唐玄宗、唐敬宗都喜爱观看龙舟竞赛, 唐敬宗甚至下令建造20艘巨大龙舟, 供自己在端午节时观赏龙舟竞渡之用。唐代时龙舟竞渡活动的规模相当宏大,

12、 通常有数十艘巨大的龙舟参赛, 且观者如潮, 喊声震天。 Those who want to win in the ra _ must have the following qualifications. First; the boat must be built with high-qualified wood because the dragon boat is immense, about ten zhangs long. If the wood is too heavy, it will affect its speed, so it is usually _de of light f

13、ir wood. Second, ex _llent oar _en should be chosen. Only the players who have energy, enduran _ as well as rowing skills can win the closely fought game. In order to select the top oar _en, a very effective way is discovered: two contestants sit in a boat back to back, and then they row with full e

14、nergy to the directions they are facing. The one wins when the boat moves to his direction and is elected as the player in the team. Third, an ex _llent dispatch is very ne _ssary. Because there are more than ten or even a hundred oar _en on a dragon boat, it is hard for them to win the game if they

15、 are out of step, so an ex _llent dispatch is ne _ssary for victory. It is usually, done by putting a drum in the _nter of the boat, and a strong _n is chosen to beat it, which not only lends impetus and strength, but helps oar _en to unity the rhythem aordingly and keeps them in step to win the gam

16、e in the end. Besides, an ex _llent coxswain is very important, too. On _ the boat sets off, it moves forward like a lightning. if it moves off the right direction, it can hardly be adjusted. 赢得龙舟竞渡活动必须具备以下条件, 首先, 必须选择 _木材建造龙舟, 因为龙舟巨大, 一般在10丈左右, 如果所用木材过重, 必会影响它的行进速度, 因此, 人们通常用质轻的杉木打造龙舟。其次, 要有优秀选手。有了

17、力量又有耐力且掌握了选船技巧的划手, 才能在激烈的竞争中胜出。为了选拔优秀的划手, 人们发明了一种极为有效的方法:让两位选手背靠背坐在一只小船上, 然后各自用力向自己面对的方向划船, 船移向谁所划的方向, 谁就是胜者, 就被选拔到龙舟竞渡队伍中。再者是要有良好的调度。每艘龙舟上的参赛人员少则十几个人, 多则上百人, 若划手们不能步调一致, 是很难取胜的。为了胜利, 要有优秀的调度。通常是在龙舟中步调一致, 取得最后的胜利。此外, 还要有好的领向员。因为龙舟一旦启动, 其行如飞, 若在方向上发生偏差, 很难调整过来。 The method-to scramble for the award is

18、 to win, started from the Tang dynasty. Then two kinds of awards existed: the stationary one or the moving one. The stationary award is usually a prize on the top of pole in the water. The one who gets the prize first wins. The moving award is a prize on the blown-up bladder in the water. When the b

19、oat approached it, a best swimmer jumped into water and got the prize, which required the coxswain had correct judgment about the target and guided all the oar _en to adjust the direction of the boat quickly. 龙舟竞渡中夺标定胜负的比赛方法始于唐朝。标分两种, 一是固定标, 一是活动标。固定标通常是在水中立一杆, 杆上放奖品, 谁先取得奖品, 谁就是赢家;活动标把动物膀胱充气后放人水中,

20、再挂上奖品, 龙舟接近此活动标后, 由一名游泳高手人水夺取此标。这就要求领向员对目标要有较强的判断力, 并指引全体人员灵活地调整方向。 The Continuous Dragon-Boat Ra _ in China 龙舟竞赛代代相传 Dragon-boat Ra _ in the Song dynasty was as exciting as in Tang. First, the emperor and his relatives loved watching the dragon-boat ra _, so dragon-boat ra _ was often held in the i

21、mperial area Ji _ing Pool in the Capital Bianliang (the modern city Kaifeng in Henan provin _ ).Then, the folk dragon-boat ra _ was vigorous. When it came to the Ding dynasty, though Manchu did not have the drag-on-boat ra _ custom, they were moved immediately by the exciting s _ne of the dragon-boa

22、t ra _ and caught up in it. Therefore, the ra _ surpassed the former dynasties quickly in terms of the number of participants as well as its influen _. 到了宋代, 龙舟竞渡活动丝毫不逊色于唐代。首先是皇室贵胄极爱观看龙舟竞渡表演, 在京城汴梁(今河南开封)皇家禁地金明池经常进行龙舟竞赛。再者就是民间龙舟竞渡活动轰轰烈烈。到了清朝, 虽然满人没有龙舟竞渡活动的风俗, 但是, 很快被 _的龙舟竞渡活动的热闹场面所感染, 并陶醉其中。因此, 清朝时期

23、的龙舟竞渡活动很快都超过了历代各朝。 Nowadays, dragon-boat ra _ has been a world petitive game. The 1st World Dragon-Boat Championships was held in China in 1995, in which 14 teams from the countries and regions participated. The Dragon-boat Ra _ originating from ancient China now influen _s the world with its specia

24、l _gic power. 今天, 龙舟竞渡活动已是一项国际性的比赛活动。1995年, 首届国际龙舟锦标赛在中国 _, 有14个国家和地区派队伍参加了比赛。龙舟竞渡这项源于古老中国的活动, 正以其特有的魅力影响着世界。 The Dragon Boat Festival, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, has had a history of more than 2,000 years. It is usually in June in the Gregorian calendar. There are _ny legends about the evo

25、lution of the festival, the most popular of which is in memoration of Qu Yuan (340-278 BC). Qu Yuan was minister of the State of Chu and one of Chinas earliest poets. In fa _ of great pressure from the powerful Qin State, he advocated enriching the country and strengthening its military for _s so as

26、 to fight against the Qin. However, he was opposed by aristocrats headed by Zi Lan, and later deposed and exiled by King Huai. In his exiled days, he still cared much for his country and people and posed immortal poems including Li Sao (The Lament), Tian Wen (Heavenly Questions) and Jiu Ge (Nine Son

27、gs), which had far-reaching influen _s. In 278 BC, he heard the news that Qin troops had finally conquered Chus capital, so he finished his last pie _ Huai Sha (Embracing Sand) and plunged himself into the Miluo River, clasping his arms to a large stone. The day happened to be the 5th of the 5th mon

28、th in the Chinese lunar calendar. After his death, the people of Chu crowded to the bank of the river to pay their respects to him. The fishermen sailed their boats up and down the river to look for his body. People threw into the water zongzi (pyramid-shaped glutinous ri _ dumplings wrapped in reed

29、 or bamboo leaves) and eggs to divert possible fish or shrimp from attacking his body. An old doctor poured a jug of reaglar wine (Chinese liquor seasoned with realgar) into the water, hoping to turn all aquatic beasts drunk. Thats why people later followed the customs such as dragon boat racing, ea

30、ting zongzi and drinking realgar wine on that day. Dragon boat racing is an indispensable part of the festival, held all over the country. As the gun is fired, people will see ra _rs in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly, aompanied by rapid drums, speeding toward their

31、destination. Folk tales say the game originates from the activities of seeking Qu Yuans body, but experts, after painstaking and meticulous research, conclude that dragon boat racing is a semi-religious, semi-entertaining program from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). In the following thousand

32、s of years, the game spread to Japan, Vietnam and Britain as well as Chinas Taiwan and Hong Kong. Now dragon boat racing has developed into an aquatic sports item which features both Chinese tradition and modern sporting spirit. In 1980, it was listed into the state sports petition programs and has sin _ been held ev
